Estimation of tropical forest structural characteristics using large-footprint lidar
Quantification of forest structure is important for developing a better understanding of how forest ecosystems function. Additionally, estimation of forest structural attributes, such as aboveground biomass (AGBM), is an important step in identifying the amount of carbon in terrestrial vegetation pools and is central to global carbon cycle studies. Although current remote sensing techniques rec...
متن کاملRandom Forest Classification of Sediments on Exposed Intertidal Flats Using Alos-2 Quad-polarimetric Sar Data
Coastal zones are one of the world’s most densely populated areas and it is necessary to propose an accurate, cost effective, frequent, and synoptic method of monitoring these complex ecosystems. However, misclassification of sediments on exposed intertidal flats restricts the development of coastal zones surveillance. With the advent of SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites, polarimetric S...
متن کاملEstimation of Forest Structural Parameters from Lidar and Sar Data
Vegetation spatial structure including plant height, biomass, vertical and horizontal heterogeneity, is an important factor influencing the exchanges of matter and energy between landscape and atmosphere, and the biodiversity of ecosystems. Regional and global forest biomass and forest structure estimation is essential for understanding and monitoring ecosystem responses to human activities and...
متن کاملEstimation and Monitoring of Tropical Forest Biomass Using Polarimetric Interferometric SAR Data
The purpose of the proposed work is to examine the feasibility of using Polarimetric Interferometric SAR (PolInSAR) techniques on ALOS PALSAR data to extract forest canopy heights with the ultimate objective of deriving biomass estimates. Previous work [1] has shown that in homogeneous European forest stands, tree height is a reasonably robust estimator of biomass through a simple allometric re...
متن کاملEstimation of forest parameters using CARABAS-II VHF SAR data
The use of airborne CARABAS-II VHF (20–90 MHz) SAR data for retrieval of forest parameters has been investigated. The investigation was performed at a test site located in the southwest of Sweden consisting mainly of Norway spruce forests. Regression models predicting forest parameters from radar backscattering amplitude were developed and evaluated. The results showed a linear relationship bet...
